Análisis de los Problemas de la Red Inalámbrica Wi Fi Dentro de los Predios de la Espoch para Incrementar su Alcance.

Abstract

The problems of the ESPOCH-WiFi wireless network coverage were analyzed. Moreover, a proposal of a new wireless network design with a combination of the technologies WiMAX-WiFi was done in order to improve the above mentioned network coverage at ESPOCH campus. By using the analytic method, some survey was applied to students and professors as to find out coverage problems. With the experimental method, link and coverage simulations were carried out from the Base Station (WiMAX) with a standard of 802.16-2004 towards antennas which receive the signal. These are also in charge of distributing the signal towards the final user stations which will use network interphase that implement WiFi 802.11g. In order to perform the wireless network design, GoogleEarth was used to get latitude, longitude and topography of the Base Station (WiMAX) location, as well as, the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The tool Radio Mobile was used to do the wireless link and coverage simulation. The result was that the physical topology obtained was the adequate one for the desing of the new wireless network which offers signal levels under 61.6 dBm. It is an ideal value for an optimal link using 8 pieces of CPE witch offered a coverage radius of 200m. It covered the whole ESPOCH campus. After this study, it is concluded that the use of new wireless technologies noticeably improve the ESPOCH campus wireless coverage and access.
